OTOH, POSIX says:
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/dd.html)

  [...] If some other error is detected, a diagnostic message shall
  be written and the copy operation shall be discontinued.

Hmm, whatever they mean with "some other error" - couldn't this
be such a seek-on-input failure?

Have a nice day,
